Bless his heart -- he lives not far from us. But dear God, I don't want to live that long. 90 tops for me, if you please, Sir.

Happy Birthday Mr. Overton!

I love his recipe for longevity: "Just keep living, don't die."

 

[Aunt Bea]

Great story, he makes it look so easy!!!

 

[Falcon]

Good for him. I'm not too far behind him. I was a bomber pilot in that war. I'm 94.

 

[Pappy]

My dad is turning 103 this month. Fought in Iwo Jima.

You must live not too far from me! Austin has its good points, to be sure, but after forty years, here, I'm ready for a cooler climate with less traffic, less people, and better air.

WoW!! What a man... so on the ball for his age, and he even smokes, and drinks alcohol... So would I if I was over 100 lol..

...but seriously I think the fact he has a loving family and friends who love him and he's looked after so well, is the reason for his longevity

Thank you Sir , Mr Overton for your service which was long before I was born, without you and your colleagues I may never be here.. ... and to your Pops , Pappy, may he have a wonderful 103rd birthday when it gets here...
